EH 301 HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE – IV SEMESTER V
MASJID – MOSQUE - "the place of prostration"
To meet the demand for some focal point the cloisters on the
Mecca (in India on the west) of the courtyard were expanded
and elaborated into a pillared hall or sanctuary, with a wall at the
back containing a recess or alcove called a Mihrab indicating the
Qibla or direction for prayer.
On the right side of the mihrab stands the Mimbar or pulpit while
a portion of the sanctuary is screened off into a compartment for
women.
An elevated platform from which the Muezzin summons the
faithful to prayer is also a necessity and usually takes the form
of a high tower or minaret

MASJID – MOSQUE - "the place of prostration"
In almost every city and large town, there is one mosque known
as the Jamma Masjid (the collecting mosque"). This designation is
given to the principal or congregational mosque in which the
faithful assemble for the Friday Jumah prayer
The facade and the dome
To produce the necessary structural effect of a house of prayer
two important elements were imposed on to the exterior of the
sanctuary, on the one hand a screen was thrown across its front
to form a facade, and on the other, above the central
space or nave corresponding to the "high place" of the
Christian church a dome was raised.
